npm错误代码ELIFECYCLE，用于安装后的Bower安装

Question

I am getting the followin error when running npm install:

66283 error Windows_NT 6.1.7601
66284 error argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install"

66288 error Exit status 1
66289 error Failed at the MyProject@0.0.0 postinstall script 'bower install'.
66289 error This is most likely a problem with the MyProject package,
66289 error not with npm itself.
66289 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
66289 error     bower install
66289 error You can get their info via:
66289 error     npm owner ls MyProject
66289 error There is likely additional logging output above.
66290 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

I have my environmental variables setup correctly for Python 2.7, git and npm user profile. My node-gyp is building/rebuilding successfully. Wondering why is this happening ?

Answer 1

The issue is with the GIT environment variables. Added the following to environment variables (PATH) , it started working.

C:\Users\DemoUser\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin
C:\Users\DemoUser\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\cmd

Make sure to add both \\bin and \\cmd otherwise it doesn't work with the default \\cmd PATH variable git adds automatically during the installation.

Thanks !
